Good health prevails when the “good bacteria” in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are properly colonized, and more often than not; ill health is the result of the accumulation of too much “bad bacteria” or, inversely, too little “good bacteria”. There are trillions of bacteria living in our gut, and our body needs a variety in order to maintain overall good health. But a lot of the food that we eat, and things that we do, kill off good bacteria and leave space open for harmful bacteria. This causes an imbalance which then leads to the deterioration of our overall health. By taking probiotic supplements, and treating our bodies with respect, we can help to reverse the damage and assist our bodies in maintaining good health.
